Scrap happy!

After much paper shuffling...a little too much shuffling for my liking, but I've finally got my groove back ;) This layout was simply scrapping for no reason, hehe giving myself free reign to create.

I had a bit of fun with the mist & paint again, but the big plus...I used up more of my scraps! :)

Thank you for your well wishes last post :) I've sought natural/alternative therapy for my condition & currently feeling really good! I'm certainly feeling a whole lot stronger physically & mentally, so we'll see what the future holds. I've realised I can't worry about what tomorrow may bring, but rather live for today.
Thanks for stopping by, as always...a huge thank you for all your lovely comments! They really do make my day x
Happy scrapping!

Yin & Yang...

OK...I've been sitting on some VERY exciting news for me...my layout has been selected in the top 20 traditional entries for the Scrapbooking Memories & Expertise Events BLACK AND WHITE PLUS ONE competition!!!

I remember being in awe of the entries last year, so to think that I'm among the entries this year is...WOW!

So exciting as well, that I will again be traveling to Brisbane for the June Long weekend to see them all in person!

On the flip side...I've not got much to share creative wise :( It's not been the best few weeks for me health wise, but journaling has been helping get my head back into gear. I'm loving this technique that I saw whilst doing Natalie Kalbach's Creative Jump Start, it's perfect for getting all thoughts out & onto paper then covering them up with lots of paint for no-one to see ;) It's helping, which is good...I've got so much to be grateful for...most of all, my family! I love them so much & I am so blessed by their love & support.

But I'm guessing I'm not the only one not getting creative this month, looking at Scrap The Girls challenge this month??? Is this on your 'to do list'? We are all hoping to see more gorgeous creations soon, hopefully you find some scrapping time over the weekend...that's my hope too! :)

Thanks for stopping by, sorry for the 'downer'...hehe promise to start & end with a more positive post next time ;) LOL be grateful for lots of editing ;) & a huge, huge thank you for all your lovely comments...believe me, they really do mean a lot to me! :)

Happy scrapping. 

White with One!

Sadly this is my last month with White With 1 :( I owe a huge thank you to Mel for having faith in me, it's been such an honour to be among such a brilliant line up of talent over the past year! Don't forget, you still have to the 6th to try out for the Creative Team...good luck!
The challenge for May is...WHITE + CREAM + CHIPBOARD.
I had an extra photo of myself from last month (printed the wrong size) & thought it worked perfectly with the gorgeous Imaginarium chipboard I had.

Here's a close-up to show the stamping using my paint dabber...how easy is that, love 'em!

Go here to see the other CT's gorgeous creations, they are simply beautiful!

Thanks for stopping by...& a huge thank you for all your lovely comments :) they honestly do make my day! x

Happy scrapping!!!

Scrap The Girls May Challenge!

Arrgh...seriously, where did April go?

Though a new month means new challenges...gotta love that!

Over @ Scrap The Girls, the challenge for May is to use this quote...

"Having a sister is like having a best friend you can't get rid of. You know whatever you do, they'll still be there" - Amy Li

This is my sample...
